I work directly with apartment/ home owners.
Not illegal sublets which abound in the city.
I enjoy helping people find a home away from home. My apartments are in popular high desired areas all close to many things and always a subway stop near by.
The building owner is present in the building and able to take care of any problems.

We spent almost a month at Jay's apartment and enjoyed every minute! Location is great and extremely convenient, close to everything and right by the 72nd subway station. Central, but very quiet and homy, facing the back. Jay, the owner, made us feel very welcome and comfortable right from the stsrt. He attended to all our needs and requests, quickly coming by to resolve any issues we had. Super nice, friendly and helpful! The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, kitchen is small, but managable and has all you might need for cooking and eating in. I highly recommend this apartment and will surely be back when we get back to NY.

The host was very helpful, friendly and honest. It is an old Brownstone, but the host made sure I knew what I getting into before I booked and I greatly appreciated that. The apartment, for the most part, was more than we expected. For example, the rooms are large; the apartment is really quiet; and the host provided just about everything we needed. My husband and I stayed for the month of July and the A/C kept us nice and cool. The location is perfect: Central Park (which somehow looks more beautiful every year); Lincoln Center; bike rentals; restaurants; and a fabulous subway station.

Yay! Laura was great!! She responded to all of my inquires quickly and thoroughly. I was nervous about traveling with my two children to NYC and she quickly put my mind at ease...listing fun kid-friendly things to do in the city. And Jay greeted us at the beginning of our stay and was always ready to help if we had a question about the city. We were participating in an event at Lincoln Center and this was absolutely a dream location. We could walk to our program as well as be near the 72 Subway express stop...making getting to the rest of the city a breeze. Also, the proximity to fabulous restaurants as well as Central Park was a real plus. I felt comfortable and happy with my 7 and 11 year old girls. I would recommend this location to you. Thank you Jay and Laura!!

This really is an ideal location. We walked to The Met, The Museum of Natural History and lots of great upper west side spots; plus it is just a few minutes walk to the 72nd street subway. Laura provided excellent directions and instructions for getting into the apt, and she was easy to communicate with. Jay gave us a warm greeting with lots of info and tips on NYC, plus he came to our apt. within minutes after we asked for help with a minor issue. Everything worked well and it gave us the experience of living in NYC that we were looking for. The apt. was clean, but could use some attention in terms of paint and upkeep.

Great apartment! Clean, comfortable, well equipped and in a great location on the UWS. Laura was very helpful and great to deal with. Jay, the owner, was a wonderful host and gave us some great tips and restaurants recommendations and made us feel at home. We definitely recommend this apartment and are looking forward to book it on our next visit to NYC!

Great house, clean and tidy with dishwasher too! Beautiful garden and very friendly and helpful hosts. Nice and quiet location, mostly residents, little tourist, so not very busy and perfect for a chill weekend. Car ride to the beach, or taxi up to $20 one way.

We visited New York in May 2014 with our 2-years-old-son and had a wonderful time. The apt is absolutely perfect to discover NYC. It is located very close to the 72nd subway station where Express-trains stop. Supermarkets and restaurants are nearby – as well as Central Park and Riverside Park with great playgrounds – which was very important for our youngest traveller. The apt itself is clean and well equipped. The owner lives in the same house and was very helpful. We would definitely like to come back.

This was the best Airbnb experience I have had so far. Laura's apartment was super clean, comfortable, uncluttered, well equipped and in a great location on the Upper West Side. Laura was a total pleasure to deal with - communicative, helpful and she left some really great restaurant recommendations. I visit NY regularly and will definitely book this apartment again, and again, and again ...
